    Magnets

    in United Kingdom and Ireland

    Posted

    the magnets come in lots of shapes and sizes, several of which have a countersunk hole in the centre, useful with a washer for clamping on a container, or for a screw to a lump of wood, dead tree branch etc.

    Just be extra bcareful when handling them, if two slap together by accident or design, they usually shatter.

    and the downloads

    and the tube map

    and the database of all UK caches

    and see nearby trigpoints

    and search for T&J bears

    and the Handicaching Link

    and the OS Links

    and the clickable map links

    and the searching for archived caches

    and the remembering who you are

    and the searching by cache type

    and the keeping Ian,Barry & Brian off the streets

    and the make Moote look a bit silly

    and the really quick service

    and the being easy to use

    and the taking the load off of gc.coms' servers

    and the being free

    and the wiki

    and the geocaching blog pages

    and the unmoderated friendly forums

    and place to upload cache camera photos for free

    it can not tell you how absorbing it is studying bat droppings down a cave after rebuilding a drystone wall with mortar top ;)

    List of deterrents:-

     

    catapult and marbles :ph34r:

    great big knarly branch :wub:

    petrol chainsaw :wub:

    loud whistle ;)

    compressed air horn, cheap and very effective, try and get one that sounds like a bull ;)B)

    shotgun :(;):wub:

     

    or you could take the normal approach, and stay out of the field in the first place :( , thus rendering your van full of equipment totally unnecessary :wub:

     

    stay safe, eat more beef

    Does one actually have to go to that event to log it? or can I just stay in kuwait and keep typing found it logs and then waiting to see how many get deleted? gotta be thousands out there that won't delete my logs, even at 10% success rate, doing all of UK would give me a 1000, and the states many thousands more, cacher of the decade here I come....

     

    what a load of (place your own type of dung here) this is not what caching is about....

    Imperial Or Metric?

    in United Kingdom and Ireland

    Posted

    When on a ship I am usually the only westerner on board, so apart from vessel's speed which is always knots, everything has to be in metric, or no-one can understand me, Filipino's and most arabs are strictly metric, and wouldn't know and inch if it bit them in the foot <_<

     

    Here in Kuwait, everything is metric, and when at home I use whatever comes to hand and have no problem thinking and working in either imperial or metric, guess I am just lucky <_<
